Same here, Doctor's appointment in two weeks. This time I want the nurse not to say "Still fat then" (I do know her so she is not being inappropriately rude)
I have a holiday party to attend in December and I would like to feel confident in my dress, I know I won't be down an entire dress size by then, but I want to be able to enjoy the party without feeling self-conscious the entire time.
Just been invited to a 50th birthday party for a college friend, lots of friends will be there who haven't seen me since I was 4 stone heavier. Don't want to feel judged or that I am trying to hide under my clothes.
My first mini goal will be to get through Thanksgiving without gaining. Then my 2nd mini goal will be the same through Christmas. Ugh, these are the best of times, these are the worst of times and why do they seem to revolve around food.
don't beat yourself up if you gain a little. I have been so strict with my diet since I started and have consistently stayed within my deficit. I am going to go into Thanksgiving and sample all my Sister's home cooked goodness, including pumpkin pie with extra homemade whipped cream. It will be my first big reward. I'll also be using her home gym while I stay the weekend. I have the mindset to get right back on the deficit horse come the Monday after.
My mini goal is to run an entire 5k. Currently, I’m alternating running and walking.
My slightly longer mini goal is to lose 7 more pounds to hit my goal of a 40 lb total loss. That would put me in a healthy BMI. I’d like to do this by the end of the year, but my loss has been so slow lately so a more realistic timeframe might be Jan/Feb.
I would love to lose 3 more lbs by the end of November. I am giving it my all but it is hard. I have lost 25 so far but I have at least 90 lbs to go after that, maybe more. My weight hasn't been under 200# for over 25 years. My healthy normal BMI would have me lose another #120, that seems like an unreachable goal. I have to think in small goals otherwise I get overwhelmed.
I want to jog 15k. I know I can do it and have an event in two weeks to try it.
Went one better today and made the full half marathon
Congratulations!
I was training for a half marathon until I fell and broke my arm 3 weeks ago. Surgeon says no running for another 4 weeks. So my mini goal is to heal my arm, regain flexibility and movement. And of course get back to running.
It will be great to know when you get there @tammierlewis - I ran for the Poppy appeal and I think the quote from one of the medals suits your outlook
Reached 307 pounds today, which is my mini goal of 10% of the weight I want to lose.
Next three mini goals are:
305 pounds (25 pounds lost) (2 pounds to reach that one)
300 pounds (30 pounds lost) (7 pounds to reach that one)
299.9 pounds (Twoderland) (7.1 pounds to reach that one)
I have 2 small goals right now. 1st one is to get out of the 220s. Currently sitting at 224. So this one could happen by the end of November!! My next small goal is a little bigger. I would love to hit 30% weight loss by the end of the year. Which means I would weigh in at 201.6. And a loss of 86lbs. I have lost 63 lbs since late March of this year and didnt think I would get this far. My ultimate goal will be to virtually lose half of my starting weight!!
Getting past 310 currently. I was 314.7 when I weighed a few days ago. My fiance also just bought me Ring Fit Adventure (I have social anxiety and I'm poor currently so a gym membership just isn't in the cards). Hoping that helps!

Thank you. I will do it.
